    Summary

    Every miracle that Val has conjured has turned against her. Even her god has fled her, leeching what little life it can from the hallowed husk of her mother's daughter before turning its back on her. There is no reason for her to continue. And yet, Val fails to die.

    In the wreckage of Glottage, Shrue wakes to find themself anathema, alone, and at the mercy of the apocalyptic god-storm sweeping out over the Peninsula.

    What else is there left to do but go on a road trip?

    Summary

    “All right, then, Hayward. We have a dilemma on our hands. I’m done with my coffee.

So until we decide what to do with you, you’re going to have to await judgment somewhere safe.”
    “What? You’re throwing me in jail?”
    “You did come here to kill Brother Faulkner,” Carpenter says mildly. “So there’s no use in getting all indignant. And anyway, this is an abbey of two hundred people. We don’t have a jail. What we do have is an old root cellar that bolts from the outside. We throw the drunks in there if they go overboard on the rice wine at a feast. It’s not as bad as it sounds.”
    “You’ve got to be kidding me,” Hayward says.
